As announced on Peter Jackson’s Facebook page, Orlando Bloom is reprising his role as Legolas “Greenleaf” in The Hobbit. Below are some video clips of the local coverage.
Sir Ian McKellen is his co-worker, and he spends his days covered in prosthetics – but it is all in a day’s work for Mark Hadlow.
Meeting the celebrity cast of the film was an ”oh my god” moment, Mr Hadlow said.
However, ”it’s not really any different” acting with celebrities once the camera is rolling.
He said acting opposite Sir Ian was a ”fantastic” experience.
”He is a huge world-renowned talent and you’re in a scene with him – it’s flipping fantastic.”
Mr Hadlow said he wakes up at 4am each day and spends ”a couple” of hours having make up and prosthetics applied, to transform him into a dwarf, before he begins filming his scenes.
Over the past couple of months, TORn’s Hall of Fire has been dissecting the Hobbit chapter by chapter.
This Saturday May 28 at 6pm EDT in #thehalloffire on our IRC server (irc.theonering.net), we plan to re-cap our discussions so far with a collective look at the first five chapters — all the way from An Unexpected Party to Riddles in the Dark.
If you’ve not been able to join us yet, it’s the perfect spot to join in and catch up. If you have, come along and bring your thoughts on how Bilbo, Thorin and co are faring so far in their quest! Continue reading “Hall of Fire Hobbit chat this weekend!”
Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I’m excited to announce today that we’ll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more. I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. Funny thing is, I look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that’s why he makes such a wonderful elf.

On this episode of Hobbit in 5, we discuss Benedict Cumberbatch’s role in The Hobbit, the small explosion at Stone Street Studios in NZ, the cast and crew’s involvement in the Christchurch Earthquake Relief telethon (and wish Ian McKellen a very happy birthday), and give an excerpt from Larry Curtis’s article from movies.com. We also take a look at Nori in this week’s character study.
